Developed by Relic Entertainment and released for PC in 2021, Age of Empires IV continues the long-running franchise. Considering it was published by Xbox Game Studios, it’s surprising it took this long, but real-time strategy has long been a poor fit for consoles. Microsoft touts that this version will be reworked a bit to accommodate the controller interface.

I haven’t played Age of Empires since the original 1997 release, but this one was well-received on its PC launch. So, that’s cool.

Age of Empires IV is currently available on PC, and launches on Xbox platforms right now.
